About this Item
The 1975 Burgundy harvest produced wines of genuine character and classical Pinot Noir definition in a vintage that rewarded careful cellar work, and these wines from the finest villages of the Côte de Nuits are now firmly and fully in the territory of historic maturity, offering the kind of evolved and nuanced complexity that only decades of patient cellaring can bestow. Bouchard Père & Fils' 1975 Chambolle-Musigny was Chambolle-Musigny is one of the most celebrated communes of the Côte de Nuits, its soils and sub-soils of ideal limestone and clay composition producing wines of remarkable finesse and elegance that have earned the village its enduring nickname as the Volnay of the Côte de Nuits, the soil generally not very deep, obliging the vine to search nourishment as far as 10 metres below the surface. The wine is produced from 100% Pinot Noir, aged in French oak.

Critics Ratings
“Expressive nose developing red berry notes and a light oaky hint. Tender and delicate, with an elegant structure, this is a wine with a lot of charm. Good ageing potential.” - Bouchard Père & Fils, producer tasting notes, 1975 vintage
